I have a class tomorrow! Income Tax Treaties at Prof. Avi-Yonah's house. It's the Sabbath! Oh well. I have to attend class because I'm presenting tomorrow on Article 23 of the US, UN, and OECD Model Conventions (it's as exciting as it sounds). For the longest time, I thought this brunch at Professor's house ordeal/adventure was taking place on a Saturday. He had told us the date of the event in advance but it never occurred to me that it could be a Sunday.
I've never had class on a Sunday. It is also at 10am-12pm which means I can't make it to the 9:30 or 11:11 service. I have asked Michelle to drive my sister and Tina to church. I can't be their stumbling block and prevent their church attendance. Because I have firm conviction that my Lord is like a Korean-parent, He will understand that sometimes academics prevent me from keeping the Sabbath holy. Okay, I lie. He's probably not like a Korean-parent. But I treat Him like one all the time. Even though I aspire to one day truly keep the Sabbath holy, for the foreseeable future, I will spend Sundays playing catch-up, doing homework and studying. When will I learn to rest on the Sabbath?
I must now go read what I'm going to say tomorrow at the brunch-table. The topic is "Relief from Double Taxation." There is one thing I wish would happen today but it won't. My life isn't that amazing. My heart will continue to hope but I must lower my expectations!
